It’s Not The Years In Your Life That Counts, It’s The Life In Your Years.

Ok before you think that’s an excuse to go out and get inebriated most days of the week lets take stock. I’ve got a question for you…

How many people do you see everyday struggling to get about? Obviously we all see the elderly struggling at times, but it can also apply to much younger people of all shapes and sizes. Why?

Will Back Pain Leave You Looking Like This?

We are bombarded by media images of healthy, fit, athletic people of all ages (at this point I had to check the photo at the top of this page for hypocrisy, I think they are human enough to pass that test). The result of this bombardment is to make some people motivated to get fit, for others it helps them to feel sad and depressed. So you have to ask yourself..

“What Do I Want From Life?”

I’m not talking about that Bugatti Veyron or a Butler in some revealing uniform. What do you want to acheive with respect to your quality of life?

If you are reading this it is likely that you want to be able to carry on sports and hobbies late into life. However there are many elderly and more importantly, not so elderly people around, that we literally bump into everyday that also felt the same way.

So if you want to be able to keep up that sport or hobby into later years, you need to do a few things:

• Train without injury
• Keep good nutrition
• Think positively
• Keep your body moving and working efficiently
• Keep a good network of good friends and family
• Get things fixed properly before they become chronic

You’ve Only Got One Body So Look After It

Regular exercise followed by balanced nutrition, a few regular good times with friends and family, can make a great difference to your outlook. If you want to stay painfree you need to keep the machine of the body working well both mechanically (joints, muscles etc), physiologically (nutrition) and pyschologically.

Each of these compliments and affects the other. For instance, if you are restricted in activity your cardio-vascular health will suffer too, and this will affect your mood.  Don’t let minor niggles and neglect lead you slowly down a degenerative path. Get your joints and muscles functioning well, keep it that way through a program of specific exercises and feel the positive physical and mental benefits.

You’ve only got one shot at life, let it be focused on inner health and happiness!!

Stay tuned for the exercises, they are coming!!
